ESPN sold its majority stake in the X and Winter X Games, marking the end of a nearly three-decade chapter during which the network helped propel snowboarding, skateboarding and other action sports out of the fringe and into the mainstream.

ESPN sold its majority stake in the X and Winter X Games on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022 marking the end of a nearly three-decade chapter during which the network helped propel snowboarding, skateboarding and other action sports out of the fringe and into the mainstream.
Next to his three Olympic titles, Shaun White's 15 wins and 23 overall medals at the X and Winter X Games are his top sports achievement. Virtually all of the sport's biggest names — Chloe Kim, Jamie Anderson, Danny Davis, Marc McMorris and more — have won multiple titles in Aspen. Even in an era in which the Olympics overshadows most everything, hardly anyone argues that a great snowboarder's resume isn't complete without some kind of victory in Aspen.
"We’re proud of what we’ve created with our employees and the athletes over nearly 30 years of world-class X Games events and content,” said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN and Sports Content.
